It tends to work best on a large gap after a period of declining volatility.

So I guess when she took the vows, through sickness and health, for better or worse she had had her fingers crossed on half of it?

You do realize that for the first time ever the United States is having to IMPORT wheat to meet our own basic food demand?

Read the Hedge Fund Edge by Mark Boucher, its one of the best books out there. Also Gary Kaulbaums radio program is good. Both of them have services via Tradingmarkets I believe, I am not in any way affiliated with TM. If you have specific questions feel free to ask, either here on in PM. I...

This is the first NY Expo I have missed, how was it? What was the tone like? Who where most of the vendors? What type of trader was there? I just talked to Toni and she said that the presentation she gave for some FX place had over 500 people at it.

He and others have gone against them a number of times and if the speculative and true economic pressures get high enough the Cent. Banks give in. Examples include the UK, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia. Your point though about the lack of a true free market in FX is very valid and true.

Yes, but banks and other financials are broke and are not putting money into the system, they are busy trying to save their asses, not profit. Basically, the Port Authority is paying a high rate because the market has effectively disapeared at this time. People have been talking for some time...

devaluation? Isn't the lira traded in a free market? yes, basically. If yes, how could you use the word devaluation? Because the price of the Lira could fall for any number of reasons, thus it would be "devalued". BTW, when you start calling people a racist and you have no basis for...

I did not mean to come across as a smart ass in my post to you, and I hope I did not. I also dont want to seem grumpy, but my tits hurt and it makes men as grumpy as it does woman I think :) My point though is made after having spent a decade as a trader and about 6 years where I used to run a...

If you liked it why not trust your own opinions, you'll have to learn to do it if you want to succeed in this field. Why not start now?

Yes, thats it. Breast cancer is unfortunatly a very real thing, and not just for woman and old men with man boobs. True story (my own). After having been treated for the 11 months or so for Non Hodgkins Lymphoma and having the cancer go into remission I figured I was on my way back to kicking...

Yes, and no one gave him a damn thing either other than opportunity. He didnt ask the government for that opportunity, he dug into his own soul and created it.

What you do not look at is how much you "really" lose in a bear market. The only way to measure that is how long, in inflation adjusted terms it takes to get back to breakeven on the money invested at the top of a market cycle. From the 1929 top it took investors 37 years to get to breakeven in...

Everyone knows that in the long run stocks always go up. Our brokers and the smart people on TV have fancy graphs they show us that prove that over the long term, stocks only go up. They tell us that yes, from time to time there will be this nasty thing called a bear market, but if you just hold...

There was an interesting documentary on showtime a year or so ago. They followed a homeless man for some time, and then near the end of the following him they have him $100,000 cash, hoping he would get back on his feet etc. He did for some time, but 2 1/2 years later he was broke and homeless...

Thanks empee. I think that I'm lucky that we caught things early. I no longer have a nipple on the right side, and if I was a woman I'd probably be even more self consious about losing my breast, but I think we got really lucky. I'm pretty sore and tired, and they want to do one round of...

You've been here only several days, and 2/3 of your posts are bitching about Ivica. Who's hunting/stalking????? What is your agenda? Ivica has been clear about his, he has something to sell. What is your agenda?

Markets were strong across the board on Wednesday after news that Warren Buffet might be riding in on a white horse to save some insurance companies. January retail sales came in at a dismal +0.3%, but it was enough to cheer up traders who had been expecting a fall of about that much after...

Can you explain to me exactly how this massive redistribution of wealth is going to add anything to our economy? It's just feelgood crap. Congress should stick to investigating baseball, at least then they can's screw up the rest of the country.
